After the best burger and the best ramen, Xavier Lacroix and Valentin Maître are at it again, launching the next Chef Festival to elect the best pizza in Geneva.

Rest assured, the approach is child-friendly. No competition, no headaches, and above all no fighting. Through this new Chef Festival for 17 days in a row, 15 restaurants will present an original pizza not on their menu. A special creation to taste, specially made for this competition. When ordering, each guest receives a code on their phone to evaluate the pizza after tasting. The criteria vary according to five factors: the pizza as a whole (its taste and appearance), the dough, the ingredients selected, the originality and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Finally, the three highest-scoring pizzas will be tasted by the festival’s patron, Ivan Barreti, the talented chef from Tosca in Eaux-Vives. After the tasting, the chef will award the chef’s prize, along with the public prize corresponding to the ratings. From Visitaly à Cinecittà to Da Michele or Le Scaramùfrom September 27 to October 13, demonstrating once again that Geneva is a city on the move.
